The Employment Blues

I promise to respond to your comments soon. I just got a letter in the mail saying that my conditional letter of appointment to the FBI has been rescinded because the position has already been filled. It looks like I applied to one of the only positions in the damn world where the more life experience you have (moving, travelling the world, going to different schools, etc.) turns out to be a liability. The position apparently got filled before they could finish my background check (which has now been going on for 5 months now). Looks like I waited a hell of a long time for absolutely nothing. Well, I left a message with my agent to see if this means the process is completely over or whether they'll keep going on the background check for another position. More waiting I guess.

So, keep commenting and I'll try to get my Vanderbilt paper posted tonight. I just need to go chill and feel sorry for myself a little while. If you want to express your condolences or whatever, just comment here or drop me an e-mail b/c I'll be ignoring my phone. Music, solitude, beer, and chatting with sexy bartenders are one of my favorite remedies. Someone keep the place up for me and tell all the regulars I'll be back soon...I need to go blow some money at another bar and give them some business too...
